Siegen, Large district town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Located between Cologne and Frankfurt, Siegen extends across seven hills and contains numerous green spaces within its 114 square kilometer territory.
The settlement gained town rights in 1224 under joint ownership between the Count of Nassau and Archbishop of Cologne, developing from Celtic origins.
The Siegen Museum exhibits works from Peter Paul Rubens, while the city awards the prestigious Rubens Prize to contemporary artists every five years.
Regional trains from Siegen central station connect to major German cities, with regular services to Cologne, Dortmund, and Frankfurt within two hours.
The industrial heritage of Siegen stems from iron ore mining that began during Celtic times and continues to influence its economic structure.
